The media was saying during the wedding that the red uniform actually represented the IRISH guards, not the Welsh.
Yes thats correct, my wife took great pleasure in correcting me...
well at least there is one important point in this discussion!!
But in fact the red uniform represents the British Army - not any particular regiment.
the individual regiments are represented (identified) by various accouterments on the uniform.
In the cases of the Welsh and Irish Guards the Welsh Guards have their buttons in groups of 5 and wear a green and white plume. The Irish have their buttons in groups of 4 and wear a blue plume.
